Bud's Offshore Energy (BOE)

Watching Kevin Costner at the beginning of the “Field of Dreams” game in Iowa reminds me that Kevin visited the MMS Ohmsett facility in New Jersey in 1999. He and his brother had developed an oil purification system that was being tested at Ohmsett (“Tank of Dreams?”). In the picture below, Kevin is flanked by Ohmsett Manager Bill Schmidt and Engineer Dave DeVitis. Were it not for the heroic efforts of Ed Tennyson and other MMS employees, Ohmsett would have been abandoned in the 1980s. More on that in a later post.
